Post #46,981 by wharris2 7/26/02 4:17:10 AM Reply	Re: OT re your JerryP quote: Would those be Intel lawyers? I think that's lawyers in general: they'd rather suck blood than preserve the human race. See [link\|http://www.overlawyered.com\|www.overlawyered.com] for lots and lots of examples. Hammerfall is, of course, his novel (I think co-written with Larry Niven) about an asteroid doing a big smack-down on Earth. The lawyers would mostly rather be what they are than get out of the way even if the cost was Hammerfall. - Jerry Pournelle
